In reply to what happens when the boss knows about you!!!!!!!!, posted by kellyR. on December 4, 2000, at 20:55:24
In my last job, I did very well over all, but co-workers sometimed complained about my tardiness, forgetfullness, and other idosyncrasies.
I never told my boss what was up with me... she just thought I was a "free spirit" and needed flexibility in order to produce (which I did).
She was cool.Now, it's a different situation... I get harrassed from a new boss and coworkers (I'm in a different job)
for various things (like missing deadlines, blanking out in meetings, doing things differently from the company norm). So I finally told them what was up. I think they understand that I'm not lazy or stupid, but they still nag a lot.
But I am glad they know what is up with me, and that persons with mental illness often have no control over the onset or effects of their illness (much the same as other physiological illnesses).
Most of the people I work with are mean and arrogant anyway, so what do I care what they think?
